Chapter 4 Connecting to Your Desktop PC 51

On your hp Jornada

Create a partnership between your hp Jornada and the desktop PC using one of the direct connection methods (USB cradle or infrared connection) described in this chapter. You must also configure a connection on your hp Jornada, as described in chapter 5, “Connecting to the Internet or to a Network.“

On your desktop PC

Before you can synchronize remotely, the desktop PC or network server must be configured to allow your hp Jornada to connect. Depending on the version of Windows running on the desktop PC, you may need to install and configure Remote Access Services or Dial-Up Networking on the desktop PC.

You must also ensure that ActiveSync is configured to allow a network connection. For more information, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop PC.

Follow these steps to prepare your desktop PC before you leave:

•If you are using a modem on your desktop PC, turn the modem on before you leave.

•Leave your desktop PC on, and be sure you logged on under the same user name that you used when you created the partnership.

•Ensure your PIM program and e-mail program (Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange) are running.

If you receive an error message on your hp Jornada that states that an information type needs attention, or if unresolved items are reported after synchronization, you must synchronize directly with your desktop PC using the USB cradle, an infrared connection, or an optional serial cable.
